Jail Delivery Averte d.

SEATTLE, w. t.. September 29.-
One of the prisoners of the county
jail told Jailer Hanna to-day that a
scheme was on foot among the prison
ers to bring about general Jail de-
livery, and that keys were being made
to open the doors. Hanna and
Deputy Sheriff Hadden made thor.
ough investigation and found a loaded
bulldog revolver in the cell occupied
by Reddington and Gallagher, charged
with killing Patrick Holloran, and
three keys were found in the cell occu-
pied by Albert Friedrich, charged
with murder. The keys were cleverly
made and would most likely have
opened the doors. One OF the keys is
an old one used by some former jailer.
How it got into the jail is not known.

YREKA, September 29.-Yesterday
the time given the Chinese to leave
Sisson expired. Only the presence of
Sheriff Moxley and United States

hundred men, headed by E. j. En-

an anti-Chinese agitator of Chico,
started to visit the Chinese quarters
under a pretense OF seeing whether
the latter were ready to go. When
the Sheriff arrested the leader an at

their employers and would have re-

The Correct Position for Waltz

At the session of the Dancing Mas
ters' Convention, held yesterday after
noon, the correct position for waltzing
was defined. 1t was decided that the
gentleman should hold the lady with
his right forearm, placing his hand fat
against the back. No part of his arm
above the elbow should come in con-
tact with her body. The lady's left
hand should rest upon the gentleman's
arm about four inches from the should
er. Her right arm should be held out
nerfectlv straight at an angle of about
Il degrees from the body. Her right
hand should rest in the gentleman's
left palm, with the knuckles upper
most. 1t is necessary that the lady
shall not bend her right elbow, other

New York, September 29.-Colonel
John G. Reiff, of Woerishoffer & Co.,
bankers and brokers, this city, was
called to the stand at the session oi
the Pacific Railroad Commission to-
day. He knew nothing about the
millions Of the Central Pacific, but did
know considerable concerning the
Kansas Pacific and Union Pacific, and
was the fiscal agent of the former
company from '66 to IA. Was first
attached to the consolidation of the
Kansas Pacific with the Union Pacific.
He said the latter road had not lived
up to the Act of 1864 with reference to
full paid stocks, and acquired great
power by issuing paper which cost
them nothing. This enormous power
they had used to bankrupt the Kansas
Pacific and injure the witness and his
friends. Since Gould had got into the
company the Gould methods have
controlled, and those methods are
doing just exactly as they want to and
relying ON the snbserviency of the
public officials and courts under the
plea OF vested rights in the Union
Pacific.

tor said he never did anything for the
Central Pacific Railroad, but was en-
gagged as counsel for the Southern Pa
ci6c in 1878. He had left the Senate
and entered upon his law practice in
Savannah. He went to Washington

plant alleging that the Southern

that said firm are compelled to pay
said roads from $3.50 to $2.65 per hun
dred on shipments from San Francisco
to Denver, while from San Francisco
to Missouri river points, distance of
six hundred miles further, the roads
charge but $l.05 per hundred, thereby
discriminating against the complain

PROHIBITION.
The Measure Not Popular in
Tennessee.

NASHVILLE, September 20. - The
election to-day, on the adoption of the
Prohibition Amendment, passed off
with remarkable queitude all over the
State. A feature of it was the pres
ence of ladies at the polls, working
and pleading with voters to cast their
ballots for the amendment. Lunches,
with hot coffee, were served by them at
each polling-place. A like sight was
never witnessed before in Nashville.
There is no doubt that to the ladies
presence is due much of the cutting
down of the majority in this county.
Returns are yet incomplete, but the
figures so far received here indicate
that the amendment has been defeated
by ten to fifteen thousand. Advices
from Memphis state the figures there
show about the same result. Knox
vile advices say that prohibition is
probably defeated by small majority,
although returns from the eastern
part of the State show large ma
jority in that section for the amend
ment. The negro vote about Knox
vile was almost solid against prohi-
bition.
CHATTANOOGA, September 29.-Dis-
patches from all sections of the State,
representing 100000 votes, out of a
total of $50, 900, give majority OF
about 5000 against the amendment.
The returns are a complete surprise
and upset all conjectures. The
chances favor the defeat of the amend
ment.
NASHVILLE, September 29.-By late
returns 125, 900 votes, representing
half the probable total vote of the
State, have been reported, and the ma
jority against prohibition is about
1000. Much depends on the back
counties, and thu fate of the amend
